What's the difference. I'm assuming that there is one since diester oils(Amsoil Compressor oil) are comparable in price to PAOs. I've never seen the price of a polyol-ester based oil, but I understand that it is much more expensive.

FWIW, there are over 47 different types of di-esters and at least half that many
polyol esters.
polyol esters.
organic compound that contains two ester groups
Di- meaning 2 in greek terms.
Polyol containing usually severalalcoholic hydroxyl groups
Basically is sounds like the chemicals you would find in any of your synthetic lube. for high thermal stability

This is probably more than you'll want to know about esters with respect to synthetic lubricants:
